The remote host is running a version of CoolForum that suffers from multiple input validation vulnerabilities.- Multiple SQL Injection Vulnerabilities Due to a failure to properly sanitize user-input supplied through the 'pseudo' parameter of the 'admin/entete.php' script and the 'ilogin' parameter of the 'register.php' script, an attacker may be able to manipulate SQL queries and view arbitrary database contents provided PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting is disabled.
- A Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability It is possible to inject arbitrary script and HTML code into the 'img' parameter of the 'avatar.php' script. An attacker can exploit these flaws to cause code to run on a user's browser within the context of the remote site, enabling him to steal authentication cookies, access data recently submitted by the user, and the like.
